-
you rent a domain
-
in the config (provided by the service where you rented the domain) you set it to point to the IP of the device where you run caddy
-
the service tells the relevant global DNS servers your setting
-
your DNS does a DNS lookup and a DNS server returns the IP you configured it to point to
Depending on the DNS you use, you can manually add entries to do 1-3 differently, but that will only work for devices that use your DNS

preferably something with WOL that goes silent and fanless when not in use, or something I can shut down with a button
Recently I saw a Traefik plugin that can send WOL packets to a machine when a service that is hosted there gets a network request. It also shuts down the device when it’s not in use. You can set it up with a low power always on thing, like a rpi. I also have a buddy that set it up in a more diy way without Traefik so it’s definitely something that can be done and will save you a lot of electricity in the long term.

My personal experience with laptop batteries was not as nice as yours, but neither should be blindly trusted.
Not sure if there is some science on it anywhere but this random search result article pcmag.com/…/help-my-laptop-battery-is-swollen-now… says:
most common cause of a swollen battery is overcharging. Keeping your battery at a high state of charge can stress it out, allowing it to degrade faster. “In an application where you have a system plugged in 24/7, after a number of years your likelihood of getting a swollen battery increases,” says Phil Jakes, principal engineer and director of strategic technology at Lenovo. “The other thing that drives it is heat. Batteries don’t like to be hot, and there’s a chemical process that gets kicked off when a battery gets over 100 degrees.”
So I guess best is to set charge limit and make sure the “server” doesn’t get hot.

More like build-in UPS that will do the forbidden caprisun and set your house on fire after a year.

Am I blind? Where is the docker-compose? J find references to it in the doc and in the PR’s but I don’t see it in the files.

I run Dokploy which is like yunohost but a little bit more advanced.
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 2 weeks ago:
I just looked it up again and it has no plugins, I confused it with a different solution and the fact that there are lots of third party tools around firefly which use the API for automatic imports. But there is no dedicated way to change the web GUI afaik. It still may be a possibility to use the API to attach some other investment tracking tool.

If you ever need an alternative take a look at github.com/drakkan/sftpgo
- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 3 weeks ago:
I also had bad luck with nextcloud, so recently I’ve set up SFTPgo and it works rather well and it’s only for files. You can either download and upload the files through the WebUI or you can mount them over the network to your OS.

- Comment on Backing up IaC 5 weeks ago:
What I did is set up a NAS at my parents house, which I can log into as well for near zero cost offsite backups.
And at home I have a couple of local drives with borgbackups.
- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 5 weeks ago:
This keeps backups efficient since you can ask the filesystem to only send the changes instead of going over all the files and figuring out what has changed, so it’s probably a lot faster.
Aaaah!
- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 5 weeks ago:
I use borg with borgmatic. I just back up / and exclude some folders I don’t want. It does the same as you just said.
- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 5 weeks ago:
You misunderstood my question, because what you said is true either way with borg.
The question is, what is the advantage of backing up the whole subvolume “block device” vs just / file structure.
- Comment on Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg 5 weeks ago:
I don’t really understand the advantage of backing up the whole btrfs volume.

I’ve recently looked into github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii because it has imports for my banks banking API.
It uses mariadb by default and the GUI looked relatively simple.

- Comment on Two Open Source Projects Combine to 3D Print a Working Replica Key Using a Flipper Zero 1 month ago:
I wasn’t able to find it online. It came with the house.
It is a flat key that has normal teeth on the edges, two rows of small teeth on the top and bottom and two balls that can sink and rise, one large one small.
- Comment on Two Open Source Projects Combine to 3D Print a Working Replica Key Using a Flipper Zero 1 month ago:
You could already do that by just taking a photo of the key, or using a pen and paper, or press it in a piece of cheese. Basically, half of the stuff one already has at hand could be used to achieve the same goal.
Also I am glad that my keys/locks have security features from the current millenium. Makes it a pain to pick or duplicate (yes even non maliciously, the local locksmith needed to order specially stuff just for me lol)
